Hi,

Protests broke out in LA over the weekend in response to ICE raids across
the city. ICE agents and local police responded with violence. Trump
responded by militarizing LA and threatening to send even more armed
forces into local communities.^1

Trump sending Marines and the National Guard into Los Angeles against the
objections of California elected leaders is a dangerous escalation to the
violence carried out by ICE agents — and it’s an abuse of power.
California is suing Trump for sending in troops because Trump’s power grab
must be stopped.^2

deportations, violence against Americans, and authoritarian regime. Stop
Trump’s military takeover!

“BRING IN THE TROOPS!!!” Trump wrote on Truth Social on Monday.^3 Calling
in the military to a city where ICE agents and local police are already
fueling the violence against protesters is unacceptable. These ICE raids
and the violence against protesters must end.

Trump is making every attempt at grabbing absolute power. Defying court
orders. Breaking the law to deport immigrants. Paying Big Tech companies
to surveil our every move. And even sending the military to terrorize Los
Angeles.

We need our elected leaders to make it clear to Trump that his disturbing,
violent acts can’t continue.

deportations, and dangerous abuse of power.

Thanks for taking action,

Joey and the team at Demand Progress
